The future (high speed or otherwise) of APRS is...


(drum roll)


.. the cell phone.





No endless discussions about paths.

No silly restrictions on encryption or message sizes.

No concerns about aloha circles or over deviation.

No gnashing of teeth over too frequent position reporting.


It's happening as we watch.  We saw it on here this week.
